Actually, its not. The scale is used almost as much as the triple beam balance. The thing is that a scale can be made as big as it can get, but a triple beam balance can't. On the other hand, the triple beam is more precise and can measure more small objects.

Why does a spring balance measure weigth instead of mass?

A spring balance measures weight because it relies on the force of gravity acting on the object being weighed. The spring inside the balance extends or compresses based on the gravitational force acting on the object, providing a measure of the weight of the object. To measure mass, a balance that compares gravitational force with a known reference mass is needed.


Can you use a triple beam balance to measure the volume of an object?

No, a triple balance beam will measure the mass of an object but not its volume.


How-to measure mass of an object?

To measure the mass of an object, you can use a scale or balance. Place the object on the scale or balance and wait for the reading to stabilize. The measurement displayed will indicate the mass of the object.


Is balance used to measure the volume of an object?

How does a spring balance work?

to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading. OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.

True or false balance scales are used to measure the mass of an object?

True. Balance scales are used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known weights on the other side of the scale until balance is achieved.
